“Glee” just showed us how prescient John Nolte really is


Nolte, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart’s Big Hollywood blog, is one of the harshest critics of Hollywood for its liberal bias.  One thing Nolte really dings Tinseltown for:  the cheap anti-conservative shots spread throughout TV and movie scripts.

You’re sitting there, watching a movie, having a good time losing youself in the story line and enjoying the characters when BAM!  Some character makes a cheap, uncalled-for comment about Bush or Dick Cheney or Rush Limbaugh.  You blink, you sit there for a moment in slightly-stunned surprise…and, all of a sudden, you find that some (if not all) of the good feelings you were having, were gone.

I just got a little of that in the premiere of the second season of “Glee.”  Did you catch it?

My wife and I love “Glee.”  My toddler son can’t get enough of the music.  Some nights, he won’t go to bed unless we play our DVD with McKinley High’s Sectionals championship-winning numbers at least twice.  I gave my wife tickets to a performance in “Glee’s’ upcoming tour.

I’m feeling a little less “Glee” right now.  Maybe it’s because my face is stinging a wee bit from the cheap shot slap in tonight’s episode.

Sue, the tyrranical cheerleading coach, was taunting two of her cheerleaders  Calling them dumb, she remarked on the difficulty of coaching dumb cheerleaders.  Then, Sue remarked quickly, almost in passing, that she had once coached a young Sarah Palin.

The message was clear:  Sarah Palin is dumb!

Why the cheap shot at Sarah Palin, Fox?  What, can’t we conservatives enjoy a TV program in peace?

John Nolte, you’re one wise cookie.

Because the Left understand and the Right don't ....

that EVERY opportunity to pound home a point must be taken.

Every. Opportunity.

The Right sucks at boycotts. Yes, they don’t really work, so we don’t waste our time .. but .. we also don’t get the message out that we *are* paying attention.

The Right sucks at protests. The Tea Parties were a wonderful spontaneous event but that was last year. This year, there seem to be nothing but wannabees who either never bothered to try or were rejected as actual conservative Repub leaders jockeying for positions of “leadership” in the so-called Tea Party.

Not much can be done, alas – Hollyweird was lost generations ago and there’s no good way I can see to re-take it… but it’s also not the only game in town. Nothing’s preventing a group of conservatives from doing very funny or engaging or musical stuff outside Hollyweird and putting it on the internet – and since “content” is getting much easier to create, that’s not a bad idea…

There are many things that the Left “sucks at” too, such as having good ideas or being able to convince middle class Americans of their ideas, fairly winning elections, etc…

and couldn’t agree more. When I was younger I was much more forgiving. Now, not so much.

And that Vogue thing was just plain creepy.

America is an idea; a noble idea that essentially boils down to the shocking belief that the masses are in fact not asses. John Nolte
